Same difference.
What would have made it even funnier if it had been Duke in the skit as a tourist.
Funny you mentioned that, because I was thinking Duke might best serve Hawaii by going on SNL next week to do a follow up skit, you know, show the world that Hawaii has a sense of humor and invite folks to come laugh with us and share some "hard aloha".

Hello everyone, I'll chime in for a minute.
I saw the skit and thought it was very funny. I am just a hapahaole living in Kansas though. But I think it's equally as funny when people make fun of Kansas sometimes. People think we are all rednecks, that have this twang. But I am not a redneck, none of my friends are, wait a minute, a couple of them are rednecks. But I don't have a southern twang at all. And contrary to popular belief, I really have never been to Oz, but I do know where to find the yellow brick road! But the reality is that there is some truth to the skit. While they may not be angry and wanting to be rude to tourists, there is a portion of people native to Hawaii leaving the islands for the same reasons mentioned.
We all know that Hawaii is a wonderful place to visit, but entirely different to live there. And for the people that live there, these are some of the things that make life more difficult for some.
You might as well have a few laughs, life is too short to be offended by so much.
